It was a beautiful autumn day, ideal for the playing of football, but only one team was able to manage it. Rangers scored early through Bocanegra, soon doubled their league with an Edu strike and eased to a comfortable win with a second half Naismith double. The Pars were simply not at the races.

One day, two goals might be enough for 3 points. Today, at least, a point was gained, and given we were trailing to goals from Sproule and O’Connor, that may be a decent outcome. Again it was the Thomson twins who got the goals – Ryan with a quick riposte soon after O’Connor had doubled Hibernian’s lead, then Jason with the equaliser when his centre deflected off Hanlon.

Another entertaining game but again the Pars came away empty handed despite Jason Thomson giving them the lead. A third penalty of the season was conceded and this time converted by Heffernan, who also scored to give Killie the lead just on half-time. Substitute Ryan Thomson also scored his first goal to level but Killie soon restored their lead through Kroca and this time held on to it.
